Interviews Speech : Obesity
Hello, my name is Dotavia Dixon, and I will be sharing the Interview portion of our project. In our group, we interviewed two staff members at our school: Coach McKeel (P.E. Teacher) and Rebekkah Fulton (Nurse). We interviewed Coach McKeel because we knew that he would be knowledgeable since he taught a class about healthy eating & living. Also, the nurse was a good source because she’s written a lot of documents on obesity and she’s dealt with problems from people who had to deal with being obese. The impact they made on our project was a fairly good one because they informed us about a lot of helpful things that made our project more interesting and understandable. There was some struggles with our interviews like finding questions to ask and waiting for people to respond to our invitations to be interviewed. Our topic is a delicate one and we didn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings.
One of the important questions that we Coach McKeel was, “Since you’re a gym teacher and coach, do you workout and exercise on a daily basis?” Coach McKeel’s response was he tries to workout as often as possible and he watches what he eats but sometimes get a midnight snack before he goes to bed. Also, for the nurse we asked, “What do you think is the main cause of obesity and why?” Her response was that fast foods were one of the many reasons because fast foods are much cheaper than planning out an healthy, costly meal. We enjoyed interviewing them because not only did it increase our knowledge on our topic but made us become more aware of our own health as well.
